Weekly Reading –Week Six
Computer Network
This week’s reading was actually something I felt that I knew about, that is until I completed the article. I didn’t realize how many different types LAN’s existed or how large of a role scale played. One area I found most interesting are the different types Of PAN. Devices that I use several time a week without realizing that they were a part of a network. I also found the section on Internetwork was also interesting concerning Intranet, Extranet and Internet. I assumed they would all be connected to the internet
When that actually is not the case.
Common Types of Computer Networks
I found the you tube video to be interesting. His discussion was simple and easy to understand. It reinforces what some of us shared last week – it seems it would be a good outreach method for the library.
Local Area Network
This is an area that I am familiar with. This term is used frequently at work when our area network is down or extremely slow. The history of the computer was a nice reminder of how far we have come. Cabling was actually a term that is new to me but still falls under the topic LAN that I mentioned above.

I felt the same way after reading these articles- all terms I have heard before and was glad to see that I had a basic understanding. It is amazing to see the growth of the industry and how it all relates to what we do.
I agree that this week's readings sounded like something I have heard of. I did not know everything they were talking about, but the words sounded familiar. I am glad someone else felt this way, I did not know everything they were talking about, but it made a lot more sense to me after reading than some of the previous articles.
I also deal everyday with the terms in the reading but did not realize what the meanings were until this assignment. It made such a difference to me. Especially going from PAN, CAN, to MAN all three that I deal with everyday.
